CASFUMAL Food + Pulau Perhentain

The room I stayed in during CASFUMAL in Pan Pacific Hotel. Really a nice stay.

This holiday I really had a super fantastic vacation in Pulau Perhentian after my tedious but memorable event, CASFUMAL (Career Summit for Malaysian's Leaders) where in my life, I had lived in the very 1st 5-stars hotel and had enjoyed all the 5 star facilities albeit a whole day of tired workings. The event was held in KLIA PAN PACIFIC HOTEL. I really enjoy my stay in such a grand hotel. Its all FOC. However, what I wanna focus here is THE FOOD. It is literally a food heaven! I nearly went crazy as it was my 1st time to eat in a 5-stars banquet dinner buffet, with fresh oysters, smoked salmon, sashimi shushi, pasta, pizza, CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN with all sort of desserts, cheese cakes, even some very expensive fish liver pate similar to the infamous "foie gras", and etc. (Can't name finish). The chefs there is ever ready to grill anything you want: steaks, salmon, etc. The Breakfast is also excellent, with a "gallery" of breads, cheese, (i tasted the blue cheese, but yucks), smoked bacons, grilled hams, Japanese breakfast, cakes, scrabbled eggs, served with fresh milk, coffee, etc... Some day I think I would return to this "Heaven", but RM90, who can sponsor me again? xD

These are what I had for a single dinner...damn full after that but the I would not forget this meal.

Chocolate fountain where I coat some marshmellow and fruits.


Non-Asian Friendly: This is the yuckish blue cheese. Didn't finished it all cause it is so pungent, bitter and taste a lil spicy. It is terrible because eating it is an acquired taste. Its like eating Durians for SE-ians, and eating Nattou for Japanese and Korean.

I real like the gym there, clean, ventilated, complete and modern.
Had a few heartful workouts here.

This is my temporary "office" or workstation. 2 laptops with a printer, some blades and siccors. Dun really like the solitary of the work. :(

-the 2nd nite of CASFUMAL-

I left and check out my room at 4am, leaving Pan Pacific to LCCT...
where my true vaccation starts!

I woke Robert and Ah Kok up, passed them my car key and laptop, so they would help me to drive my car back to my home. I felt real exciting that time, coz would be boaring a plane soon to Kelantan for the much anticiapted Pulau Perhentian trip. 6am I reached LCCT for the very 1st time, very crowded. The air planes are really small.

Ready to take off!
Air Asia is indeed cheap, with all its economical set ups.
The journey only costs 40 minutes.

I would like to thank to my room mate and Yun Huan for the time and effort for touring us around in Kelantan and Terrenganu. While in HanShen's "Kampung", we kinda linger around, playing with cow, spiders, going to river, climbing up a short coconut tree to pick some coconut, chop it on spot and drink coconut juice.

Well, I am not gonna said much for the trip in Pulau Perhentian. Pictures tell a thousand words:

Playing with the cigarette: being a "Pai Kia" seems cool. Will consider...xD

The top-rated "pai kia".

Look at Micheal's Hand. Something fishy...

Aviator shades is cool. Haha. People said I have a police face, esp with this shade. Haha.

Snorkling is a norm in Pulau Perhentian. The water is crystal clear, being famous for the beautiful coral reefs which are home to many fishes.

Coolest pair of room mates? Hehe...

Another group pic with the cool boatman, standing in the middle.

In front of Han Shen's House. The elderly man in the middle is his dad. A very nice and generous person.
Thank to the stay!
